The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch who plays Dominic Cummings,
the campaign director for the Vote Leave campaign and the man who
"hacked the political system" according to the film's trailer.

The movie will debut on Saturday, January 19, according to Deadline. The
website added that HBO says its movie will reveal "the
personalities, strategies and feuds of the Leave and Remain
campaigns.

"The tactics employed by Vote Leave during the data-driven
campaign swayed a historically silent voting bloc that would
ultimately decide the outcome of the referendum, as well as
affecting future elections around the world."

Posting on Twitter on Saturday, she said HBO is "heroicizing a
man in contempt of parliament." She added: "We don't know the
facts still. Because he refuses to tell parliament. But this
character with the 'software' is bulls---. The 'physicists' are
still unknown. The work was not declared. Electoral commission
refused to investigate."

"This is such a terrible cynical commission," Cadwalladr said.
"And me tweeting about it will only serve to make it
'controversial.' But it's not. It's just grossly irresponsible.
We don't know the facts yet. We need criminal justice not
'drama.' Who needs fake news when you have Cumberbatch."
